Jeff Staple Is Teaching a Class on How to Start a Successful Clothing Brand (Video)

Jeff Staple is the mind behind one of the most important and benchmark brands in streetwear, but he hasn't let the success of running Staple get to his head. In fact, he's willing to give advice and pointers to those who are looking to get into the clothing industry game, too.

The designer and owner is teaching a class via Skillshare, entitled A Staple of Branding: How to Start Your Fashion Company, that beings on July 22. The interactive class isn't meant just to serve as a 101 for those who are looking to get their feet into the fashion industry, it's also a competition with a grand prize-winner receiving the opportunity to present at the AGENDA tradeshow in Las Vegas. Staple will have everyone submit their best brand and design work, and will select three winners, who will come to NYC to meet and learn from his design team. Then, the ultimate winner will be brought under the wing of the designer.

The class only costs $15 and will include exclusive videos, PDFs, and information from the man whose collection once got rejected by Bobbito Garcia, only to become one of the best-known names in the streetwear.
